Is anyone there I can talk to?
Give us a sign if you're with me
Can't you see that I'm dying to hear you?

Everyone else has lost interest
And I'm all alone in this dream house
Though you're gone, I don't feel like crying
Romeo is calling you

Knock once or twice if you're out there
Send me a message, my sweetheart
When I'm out and about, I'll be coming to see you

It isn't easy to live with this matronly face at the window
Try to contact me if you can see how I'm suffering
Romeo is calling you

Scatter the paper and thimbles
You can take care of the candles
An unplugged radio plays, she is close now

Me and my hand-holding baby are walking the floor and the ceiling
And this is the song she dictated this evening
Romeo is calling
Romeo is calling you
